[Nahyuta's taken aback when Apollo grabs his arms, tensed, but he doesn't resist or try to pull away.]
T-this is not a matter of anyone casting blame! It is a matter of the purity of my soul. [He's not sure Apollo would understand, not being Khura'inist. Even if Apollo could defend him in this world, there's no protection from the ultimate fate of the afterlife. Particularly when all that he did was supposedly committed in the name of the Holy Mother, which now seems like the worst kind of blasphemy.]
That I knowingly committed grave sins is indisputable. Even if I was protecting the future of the kingdom, I did so built on the bodies of innocents. That is why I must strive hard for the rest of my life to make amends to my people.
[He hopes he can at least understand that much. This is a matter of faith, and not something Apollo can dissuade him from so easily.]
